Could ACC be snubbed and SBC get in CFP?

Say Duke beats UVA and both JMU and Tulane win big in their title games. Could 2 G6 teams get in the playoff and ACC be left out? I would think so.

Just stopped by to say that JCline would be proud of this clickbait thread.

Probably not. The 5 highest ranked conference champs get auto bids. So assuming Tulane wins they would get 5th bid. That in my opinion opens door up for a Vandy, Texas, Utah or any other top 25 2-3 loss non conference champ. But stranger things have happened.

Honestly don’t think either should make it.

Miami should be the ACC rep.

Duke is 7-5 and lost to 2 G5 teams.
If UVA beats Duke, cool…you beat an average team.
ACC might be worse than the American this year.

This is probably the last season or two of the “Top 5 conference champions”.

I remember saying, what happened when the ACC has a 5 loss winner a few years back.

Agree that Miami should get a bid if an ACC is required to get a bid. UVA had a relatively easy nonconference schedule. Miami played ND and Florida (even if a down year fur Florida)

They won’t be the ACC champ. It says 5 highest rated conference champs.

UVA is much better than you are giving them credit for and all they can do is play the teams on their schedule.

They aren’t going to put two G5 schools in. They hasn’t been projected by anyone anywhere
